For a 1-Gbit switch - LED is green, which indicates that the HBA port is

 

 

 

logged in to the switch port.

 

 

 

For a 2-Gbit switch - One of the following:

 

 

 

• The left LED is green and the right LED is off, which indicates that a

 

 

 

1-Gbit SP port is logged in to the switch port.

 

 

 

• For a DS-xxB2 switch, both LEDs are green, which indicates that a

 

 

 

2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port.

 

 

 

• For a DS-xxM2 switch, the left LED is blue and the right LED is off,

 

 

 

which indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port.

 

 

 

Go to step 13.
